client LOG check
list Cathy Smith
Hi
I just finished building xymon 4.3.2. I have the server up and a single client. The messages column for my client is showing green. However, when I click on the icon, the web page is displayed with a purple band down the left side. The message displayed is
No entries in /var/log messages
Then it proceeds to print out the messages file. I've attached a screen print.
This is my localclient.cfg:
HOST=flower.pnl.gov
MEMSWAP 70 90
PROC crond
PROC sshd
PROC syslogd
LOG /var/log/messages
DEFAULT
# These are the built-in defaults.
UP 1h
LOAD 5.0 10.0
DISK * 90 95
MEMPHYS 100 101
MEMSWAP 50 80
MEMACT 90 97
Can someone tell me what else I need to configure? This is a RHEL5 client.
Thanks.
Cathy

Check there is an entry
log:/var/log/messages:10240
under an appropriate category in client-local.cfg on the server.
Also check that /var/log/messages is readable by the client user.
From memory, the messages file is owned by root, and is only set to read by
owner only by default.
Correcting this problem is left as an exercise for the reader.
Cheers
Vernon

Purple means that the server has not received any update for the last 30 minutes. If you check the timestamp (Apr 11 16:49) of the messages test and compare it to the top right corner (Apr 12 11:22) you can see that the client has not sent any status for this test for almost a day. Are the other client tests for this host working and updating (cpu, memory, disk etc) /Johan
